Spider-Man 2 is doing some amazing box office:
Unofficial estimates Sunday put the gross for Spider-Man 2 in the $150 million to $155 million range since the film opened Wednesday, which would shatter the record for best Wednesday-Sunday opening set in May by Shrek 2 with $129 million.
Meanwhile, the evil Fahrenheit 9/11 is down to $17M, while showing on twice as many screens as it had on its opening weekend. The political message of Spider-Man 2 is obviously more sophisticated and insightful than that of its blustery competitor.
When you actually count tickets sold, Spiderman is only about as popular as “Home Alone”.
Oddly enough, this is another strange but irrelevant factoid from the Repub universe:
Farenheit 9/11 did 22M over the 4 day weekend.
Spidey’s not going to do anything for Bush’s mojo.
Meanwhile America’s Heart and Soul- hoped for by Repugs to be the “antidote” to Moore’s epic, grossed a whopping $184,917.
Taking about 1/6 the revenue per screen as Moore’s film.
Of course, America’s Heart and Soul was widely considered horrible, too, by the critics.
Thanks so much for the opening, Richard.
And did I mention that with the current revenues of $63,883,000, Moore’s film kicks Spidey’s ass on ROI?
John, what’s a “Repug?” Are you so inept at pressing your case that you have to resort to juvenile name-calling?
Well at least you’re not still whining about Saddam’s horrible mistreatment at the hands of the Evil Empire, so I suppose that’s progress.
